What is the use of the survivors

There is a mystery hidden under the armillary sphere

It's also strange to say that since the ancient jade was in its mouth, those little black beetles began to circle around a few people, lest they avoid it.

Xiao Liu secretly wanted to take the ancient jade out of his mouth several times, but as soon as the ancient jade left the tip of his tongue, those black beetles immediately swarmed him, and he was so frightened that he quickly stuffed it under the root of his tongue.

However, Xiao Liu still vaguely saw the appearance of the ancient jade clearly.

The thing is not big, two or three centimeters in length, one to 1.5 centimeters in width, very thin, milky white in the middle, and the whole around it is a radioactive pale green, and there is a mint coolness in the mouth.

Xiao Liu has seen this thing before, it is an antique shop in Ciqikou, Beijing, the owner's surname is Lin, because this guy is thin and tall, so friends on the road call him bamboo pole.

That year, the bamboo pole spent a lot of money to receive a treasure, it was a milky white old jade, carved into the shape of a jade, put in the mouth suddenly felt cold and refreshing, even if it was a sauna day of 389 degrees in the middle of summer in Beijing, I didn't feel any heat at all.

According to his own words, this thing is called "Ice Fish", which is a summer retreat that Yang Guifei put in her mouth during the Tang Dynasty. Because Yang Guifei was fat and afraid of heat, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ordered people to find a piece of thousand-year-old ice in the world, and ordered the most prestigious skilled craftsman at that time to break a corner, carve it into a fish, and dedicate it to Yang Guifei.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Yang Guifei was given death, in order to express his love for Yang Guifei, he couldn't bear to see her face become corrupted, so Li Longji ordered someone to put this ice fish in Yang Guifei's mouth, so that her face would last forever.

According to the Captain of Yang Guifei's tomb at that time, when they opened the coffin of the concubine, Yang Guifei really seemed to be alive, although the clothes on her body had decayed with the years, but her entire body had not changed at all, and it felt as if she was lying in the coffin and falling asleep.

"The old jade in my mouth can't be made of that cold ice?" Xiao Liu thought to himself, "But, why are those insects afraid of it? ”

"That's not some kind of ice jade." Wu Fan seemed to see through Xiao Liu's thoughts, and said as he walked.

"What's that?" Xiao Liu turned around and asked.

"It's dragon scales!" Wu Fan said lightly.

"Dragon scales?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise.

Dragon scales, while a relatively rare object, are not something out of reach. Most of the people who run boats in the south, as long as they have a little silver, can get a dragon scale or two, the dragon scales will generally take on a pale yellow, from a distance it looks like a dead leaf, but once they meet the water, they will stretch in an instant, turning into an unforgettable turquoise.

Dragon scales do have the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, but few people will directly hold dragon scales in their mouths, and even fewer people will encounter jade dragon scales.

"This is not an ordinary dragon scale, this is the ...... of the Dry Dragon King"

Before Wu Fan's words were finished, Leng Laosan suddenly interrupted him, "Shhh, don't say it, there's a situation!" ”

Hearing Leng Laosan's words, Xiao Liu and Wu Fan immediately shut up, and the two of them set their eyes on Shitai's heading.

With the protection of the dragon scales, several people had already walked not far from the ancient tree at this time.

The ancient tree is very large and thick, and the petrified trunk has turned a gray-black like a rock, and I don't know how the ancients planted it here.

Directly in front of them was an iron gate more than two meters high, closed and carved with strange patterns, as if it were words, and like some unknown symbol, no one knew what they were, and of course, no one knew what they meant.

Not far from the door there was a huge round stone table, on which were attached dense black beetles, only that there were eight circular notches on it, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

And the most bizarre thing is that in front of this stone table kneeling a person, a man wearing a black camel hair blanket.

Dead person.

A dried corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years.

This guy is an old man, I saw him sitting cross-legged with his head down, his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and his exposed skin showed a strange blue, which looked like a movie many years later - "Avatar".

He held a round plate in both hands.

The plate was made of clay with strange totems carved on it, and it looked like both a snake and some unknown bird.

And what is even stranger is not this inexplicably dried corpse, but the small black beetles around him that should have covered him.

At this point, they were crawling in one direction for some reason, and the shape looked like a black whirlpool, and the dried corpse was the center of the whirlpool.

Xiao Liu looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help frowning, he always felt that something was wrong, but let him really say what was wrong, he couldn't say it, but he just felt that something was not right.

"That ......" Xiao Liu opened his mouth to say something.

However, when everyone was looking at him, he shrugged his shoulders again, "No...... It's okay! ”

The guy in the black cloak glanced at Xiao Liu, and then waved his hand at Leng Laosan, Leng Laosan walked over with interest, he approached Leng Laosan, and said something in his ear, Leng Laosan's face changed slightly after listening, and then quickly returned to normal.

The guy took out something from his jacket pocket and handed it to Leng Laosan, and then said something, then Leng Laosan nodded respectfully, then turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, I didn't save you because of our old relationship, I think you should know this." ”

"Of course I do." Xiao Liu said coldly: "The reason why you chose to save me may be because your plan suddenly changed, and you need me to save me." ”

"That's right!" Leng Laosan said without hesitation.

"But how do you know I'm going to help you?" Xiao Liu sneered.

"Because you have to help me, because you don't have a choice." After Leng Laosan finished speaking, he slowly handed the things in his hand to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu took the thing and put it in his hand, and it didn't matter if he looked at it, at a glance, he was stunned all of a sudden.

It turned out that Leng Laosan handed Xiao Liu a small silver plaque, which was rectangular, with a dragon carved on the left and right sides. Although it is an old object, but the workmanship is not too good, if it is placed in the Panjiayuan or Ciqikou antique market, it is worth a few hundred yuan according to the market at that time.

However, to Xiao Liu's surprise, this silver plaque originally belonged to him, especially the paragraph engraved on the back of the silver plaque, which he carved with his own hands.

"Arrangement and deification is to enter Tianyi."

Tianyi, this is his son's name, and it is also the person he thinks about day and night, and it is the purpose of his coming here.

Xiao Liu held the silver brand in his hand tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "How can this brand be in your hand?" ”

Xiao Liu asked the man in black when he said this, but it was not him who answered, it was Leng Laosan who answered him.

Leng Laosan looked at Xiao Liu and said word by word: "Is this still asking?" ”

"Where is he? No, it's where they are? Xiao Liu asked.

"You help me get what I want, and we'll tell you where they are." Leng Laosan said.

"Why should I trust you?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Because you have no other choice, you have to trust me." Leng Laosan said with a sneer.

Xiao Liu didn't answer Leng Laosan's words immediately, he stared at Leng Laosan's face deadly, as if he wanted to carve this person's face into his soul.

"Do you say yes or no?" was a little hairy by Xiao Liu, and Leng Laosan couldn't help but say loudly.

"Okay, I promise." After a while, Xiao Liu said slowly. "What do you want me to do?"

"Good, good, very good!" Leng Laosan clapped his hands and said three good words in a row, then he continued: "I want you to help me see the armillary sphere in front, you know, you are the only one among our brothers who knows the art of Tiangang Feng Shui, so I can only trouble you when I come here." ”

"Brother?" Xiao Liu said sarcastically.

"Don't mind that! Everyone enters the next eight doors for money, for food, right? Leng Laosan smiled and said: "You helped me today, we let go of your wife and children, maybe you can get a lot of spiritual weapons, you can wash your hands and say goodbye to the rivers and lakes after you go out, maybe when we meet, we will drink coffee in that five-star hotel, right?" ”

Leng Laosan patted Xiao Liu's shoulder as he spoke, Xiao Liu didn't speak, but slapped Leng Laosan's hand away with his hand, and then strode towards the armillary sphere behind the dry corpse.

"Wait!" Xiao Liu had just taken two steps, and Leng Laosan suddenly stopped him.

"How?" Xiao Liu turned around and said coldly.

"I just wanted to persuade you that it's best not to play tricks." Leng Laosan said and took out a Russian-made Arikin pistol from his pocket, opened the safety and aimed it at Xiao Liu, and said slowly: "It's all my own brothers, I didn't want to do this, but I know your ability, so I ......"

"If you don't believe me, you'd better shoot now. There are ......," Xiao Liu said coldly.

"What else?" Leng Laosan asked.

"Also, we are no longer brothers today." After speaking, Xiao Liu turned around and walked towards the armillary sphere.

And the man in black slowly walked to Leng Laosan's side, pressed the gun he was holding, and drew a gesture in the air with his right hand.

A strange gesture.

Xiao Liu didn't see this gesture, and at this time he only had the old armillary sphere in his eyes.

As he walked over, the black beetle that had been attached to the armillary sphere spread out in an instant, revealing its original appearance.
